New York democrats held state conven-
ton the other day, and the Massachusetts,
republicans did likewise. The former, in
their platform, "oppose all sumptuary laws
as an unnecessary interference with the
liberty of good democrats the latter, in
their platform, declare emphatically in favor
of restrictive measures for the suppression OF
the liquor traffic and demand the submission
of prohibitory constitutional amendment
The difference between the two parties OF
the great question of temperance could not
well receive better illustration, be clearer
cut or more distinctly defined. Whenever
and wherever it comes to a contest between
them on this great question, the democratic
party will be found in favor of the whisky
traffic and the republican party will bc
arrayed against it.

LAWYER BAKER of Detroit, is the hired man
their behests, he has passed judgment on the
newly enacted liquor laws of the state and
has pronounced them unconstitutional. 1t is
fortunate for the people that the decision of
Mr.. BAKER is not fnality and that the
supreme court may have an opportunity to
pass upon the matter and, possibly, may
override the decision of the aforesaid hired
man. Mr.. BAKER may be right in his con-
clusions and the court of last resort may
agree with him, but until such time as his
dictum shall meet with confirmation at the
hands of the court, liquor dealers will have
TO abide by the law or violate it at their
peril. We warn them, however, that if they
succeed in overturning the present law, they
will get bitterer dose next time. The
people of this great commonwealth are in no
mood for trifing with this question. Beat
the BATES law and the local option law If
you can, gentlemen liquor dealers, and you
will have TO swallow dose of prohibition,
pure and simple. The next time the ones
ton comes before the people, and il will
come very soon if you overthrow the present
statutes. victory will not perch on your ban
ners. You wanted regulation and you have
cot 1t. and now you kick. Keep right on
kicking. but you will find it hard to kick
against the goad. A little moro kicking will
arouse the people 10 another regulative step,
and then the rum traffic will be regulated
ont of existence, as it ought TO be- Resist
ance on your part will only serve 10 hasten
the ushering in of the glad day.

THE Detroit Free Press has entered upon
its fifty-third year. 1t is one of the great in
s.itutions of our state and its name is a
household word in many homes, not only in
Michigan, but throughout the country and
even across the Atlantic. 1t is an excellent
newspaper and is entitled to rank among
the first. 1t is way off in politics though,
The only good thing that can be said of it in
a political way is that it has always been
consistent, that is to say, consistently bad.
However we extend our congratulations

Volunteer was an easy victor in each race,
thus proving her superiority over the Scotch

The proposed prohibitory amendment re-
Gently submitted to the voters of Tennessee,
was rejected by majority of from $4,000 to

first, the tenacious grip that the rum power
still has on the politics of the country and,
secondly, the rapid progress that the prohi-
bitory sentiment is making in the minds of
the people. 1t is probable that prohibition
will soon become the settled policy of many
states.
